Conquest DC or any IDC5 Shimano

I'm usually using braid to leader, usually 7-8ft of 8-12lb fluoro (knot right outside the reel when casting).

Should I set my line selection to PE or Fluoro? What if I'm using 20ft of topshot?

Whichever works better for you.

I take it as suggestions, FC setting is going to higher braking while PE is less

You know I’ve been playing around with this reel and I’m almost convinced that it doesn’t know which line is actually on the reel so I’ve tried all the setting with different line ie braid, mono, floro

I usually put the mono setting even though I’m using floro
After reading the review of the conquest DC I kinda used the suggestion as a blueprint. So I don’t think about the line I have on the reel per say as much as I think about the braking of the setting. So I would suggest you try that as well and see how you like it.

Thanks guys, I played around with it and will be sticking to PE - the floro setting does feel slightly overbraked.

I'm finding best distance with a 110 at 2 with a skimming of thumb through the middle of the cast, and 3 is pretty much thumbs free even into the wind.
